“…Furthermore, organic amendments have been reported to increase the microbial population in soil and induce soil properties to regulate the soil microbial community [66,67]. The added amendments supplied nutrients for the growth of indigenous oil-degrading microorganisms in soil, which in turn increased the dehydrogenase enzyme activity [15,68]. In the present study, the highest dehydrogenase enzyme activity was observed in the treatment incorporating sunflower seed husk and poultry droppings.…”

To remediate crude oil-contaminated soil, poultry droppings and sunflower seed husk were incorporated at various concentrations. Initially, the pH, moisture content, total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen content, and bacterial population of soil, poultry droppings, and sunflower seed husk were determined. The initial bacterial population was 35 × 10 8 colony forming units/g soil (dry weight basis). The total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) content in crude oil-contaminated soil was 7,048.4 mg/kg, in which 857.9 mg/kg accounted for eicosane. Naphthalene and acenaphthalene were the two polyhydroxy aromatic hydrocarbons present in soil at low concentrations. After the amendment, the pH, moisture content, microbial population, and TPH content of soil were determined on days 20, 40, and 60. The TPH concentration was considerably decreased in the treatment T4 wherein 250 g of soil was mixed with 125 g of poultry droppings and 125 g of sunflower seed husk. The indigenous bacterial population was also increased tremendously. The dehydrogenase enzyme activity was increased in the amended soil (T4: 0.74 ± 0.06 µg TPF/g/h). After the treatment of soil, the germination percentage and vigour index of maize, lady's finger and tomato seeds were enhanced.

“…Addition of nutrients as inorganic fertilizers such as NPK to soil is an effective method to control soil pollution. The added fertilizers make nitrogen and phosphorous available for hydrocarbonoclastic organisms of soil, which will eventually lead to the degradation of petroleum by microorganisms (Ijah et al 2003;Adenipekun et al 2005;Iquatt et al 2006;Hamoudi-belarbi et al 2018). Active carbon refiner is a suitable option for organic and inorganic pollutants (Bes et al 2008) and is widely used due to its high area to volume ratio, controllability of pore structure, heat resistance and ability to remove organic and inorganic pollutants (Tchobanoglous et al 2003).…”

In this study, the effect of different sizes and weights of active carbon as a remediator was evaluated on reduction or removal of petroleum hydrocarbons of a soil polluted by petroleum sludge. The present pilot study was conducted as a split plot in time experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replicates under laboratory conditions for period of 60 days. The experimental treatments included active carbon weights and sizes of 100 g and 0.3 mm (W100S0.3), 100 g and 1.5 mm (W100S1.5), 100 g and 4 mm (W100S4), 150 g and 0.3 mm (W150S0.3), 150 g and 1.5 mm (W150S1.5), 150 g and 4 mm (W150S4) and control (C). Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) and microbial respiration were measured each ten days. The results showed that concentration of TPH decreased with increasing active carbon weight and size. The highest and lowest TPH concentration at all 10-day intervals was associated with control and W150S0.3 treatments. Decreased TPH was accompanied by increased microbial respiration. In general, TPH biodegradation constant (K) increased and half-life times (T 1/2 ) decreased by increasing active carbon application with smaller sizes. The lowest value for TPH biodegradation percentage was associated with W100S4 and W100S1.5 treatments. Active carbon treatments of W150S0.3 and W150S1.5 led the best TPH biodegradation in petroleum sludge-polluted soil. Therefore, active carbon remediator may be applied as a low-cost, efficient and environment-friendly strategy for remediation of petroleum pollution in soil.

“…PAHs are very dangerous for all living things, one of them for humans (Mohanty and Das 2018). Cellular functions can be affected by the cytotoxicity, carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of the chemicals, leading to various human diseases (Das et al 2014;Hamoudi-Belarbi et al 2018). Thus, great attention has been given to microbial bioremediation of crude oil from contaminated areas (Meliani and Bensoltane 2014).…”

Abstract. Khoo DH, Shivanand P, Taha H. 2022. Short Communication: Determination of crude oil degradation efficiency of biofilm producing bacteria isolated from oil contaminated site. Biodiversitas 23: 4138-4143. Microbes have gained much attention for their application in the bioremediation of petroleum contaminated areas, and biofilm producing bacteria are considered potential candidates for this purpose. The aim of this study was to screen six oil degrading bacterial strains for their ability to form biofilm, and to measure the crude oil degradation efficiency of selected strains. It was found that only two strains, Micrococcus sp. UBDBH15 and Pseudomonas sp. UBDBH26 were categorized as strong biofilm producers, with the latter showing the highest amount of biofilm formed. Under the conditions tested, Pseudomonas sp. UBDBH26 was also found to have the highest degradation rate (0.0047 g/day) with a significant degradation of 7.07 ± 3.02 and 11.38 ± 2.93 % of crude oil after 7 and 14 days respectively. Micrococcus sp. UBDBH15 had a lower rate of degradation (0.0033 g/day), resulting in a non-significant degradation. However, in comparison with a non-biofilm producer, Enterobacter sp. UBDBH06, this study suggested that biofilm might enhance the degradation of oil, but further studies are needed to confirm this assumption.
